The word might've is not actually in most dictionaries but has become quite common to use as an informal contractionof the words 'might have'. Both 'might' and 'have' are auxiliary verbs (the past tense or conditional form of 'may have').

The contraction might've functions as a combined auxiliary verb.


Example:
We might have been late but we did show up.
OR:
We might've been late but we did show up.
